Discovering the Swabian Jura - Part 6, Inside the Ulm Minster
Greetings Steemians!
Welcome to the last episode of my travel report about the Swabian Jura. It was a pleasure showing you some of the region's highlights and to receive these many comments from you. Maybe I could even motivate the one or the other of you to visit some of the shown places yourself. If that is the case, don't forget to report back from there!
For those who wish to review my entire tour I added an overview to the end of this post.
Finally, what I wish to show you in the last post of this series are some impressions from the Ulm Minster's interior. I collected these at the last afternoon of my stay.
Right after the entry an enormous Lego replica of the Minster. What a nice surprise for the Lego enthusiast that I am. It took 112’000 bricks and 4 months of two Lego master's working time to build the cathedral at a scale of 1:70. Even the citizens were built true to scale.
The central aisle, 120m long with a breathtaking height of more than 40m. Today, there are seats for 2'000 people. In medieval times however, when it was common to stand during the service, up to 22'000 people crowded together here.
Biblical narrations depicted on beautifully stained glass. The incident light throws luminous dabs of colour on the walling throughout the Minster.
With the visitation of this time-honored monument I concluded my trip to the Swabian Jura. My legs were tired yet content and freshened my mind, after an exciting weekend, filled with lasting impressions. It was time to head back home.
Thanks for following me on this expedition, I'm already looking forward to welcoming you to the next one!

Wow! The final part at last! 😢 I can't believe this series is finally coming to an end. I feel so emotional right now. I learnt a lot. I can bet some of the things I learnt might be useful in my history classes . I'm happy that I come by your blog and I will never stop showing up. God bless you @shaka
It was nice to follow travel report from the very first episode up to this last episode. I learnt a lot and if asked, I'd never regret having followed it. From the laces at the entrance to the ancient caves to the golden blue colour of the Blautopf caused by tiny packed limestone particles, I enjoyed every part I favoured. God bless you for sharing this @shaka
Thank you!
These buildings are EPIC!
I always love the amazing colorful stained glass windows!
Looks like you have gone to some really cool places. I am trying to travel a lot this year! 😊
Sounds great, have you decided on your travel destinations already?
Wahnsinn !! Alleine diese Fensterkunst !! Und alles ist soooo riesig....tja, da sieht man mal, wo früher das Geld hingeflossen ist....die armen leute haben gespendet, und das ist damit gemacht worden...
Ist ja bis heute so: Der reichste verein der Welt ist die Kirche ! Ich bin allerdings auch ein Fan dieser ganzen Bauten - aber dahinter verbirgt sich doch auch viel Leid der armen Bevölkerung von früher.
Beste Grüße

Mind blowing architecture! The interior of this building is extremely nice. Also the decoration and a replica built with 'legos' is awesome. Your narrative and photographs made us to think about the place. Nice post!
Hammer Bilder von der Kirche🤘 Die wussten schon dazumal wie man geniale Gebäude baut👍 Und das Alles ohne die Technick die wir heutzutage haben. Da kann man nur Respekt sagen👌🤗
This series has made me come to love and appreciate your writing style. How you tie it up with these HD pictures is even more amazing. It warms my heart. I'm glad I could read it till the very end. I love you @shaka; very much. What next do you have for us to read?
My dream in life has always been to be well-travelled. I must visit this Swabian Jura someday. God will bless you @shaka for stirring my curiosityabout this area of historical interest
Wirklich schöne Bilder und auch sehr informativ geschrieben , fast schon wie ein kleiner Reiseführer. Eine wirklich tolle Arbeit.
Danke, es freut mich, das zu hören!
Sehr beeindruckend wie die Gläser genau wurden. Die Farben und die Größe. Das war bestimmt ordentlich aufwendig solche Fenstergläser zu machen. In Ulm, um Ulm und um Ulm herum ;-) @shaka
